WFM. Exit 127 often means "command not found". Are you sure that notepad is in your path?

Please, at the very least provide the cygcheck output that we always ask for whether this is Cygwin 1.5 or 1.7. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
